    There are some differences of views about what parts of the Tunis

    they imply. However, there should be no dispute that it is <br class="">
    <br class="">
    1. About global Internet related public policy making. Since,
    anything can best or most closely be defined by its function.<br class="">

    2. Since a function needs a (or some) mechanism(s), and the latter
    precedes the former, it is about mechanism(s) of global Internet 
    related public policy making.<br class="">
    <br class="">
    Indeed, within the above there can be differences on the appropriate
    'forms' of such mechanism(s). But on the two above, I would think,
    there should be no differences. That is what the 'enhanced
